Cbg Cannabinoid
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a minor cannabinoid found in cannabis that serves as a precursor compound in the cannabinoid synthesis pathway. During plant development, CBG is enzymatically converted into THC, CBD, and CBC through the action of synthase enzymes. Strains with higher CBG expression typically show this trait before full maturation, making harvest timing relevant to CBG concentration. CBG is present in most cannabis varieties in trace amounts, though some breeding lines have been selected to retain higher levels. The cannabinoid's presence in the plant is primarily of research and breeding interest rather than a major phenotypic marker.

Breeders interested in CBG-dominant phenotypes typically work with early-flowering lines or select for genetic mutations that slow CBGA conversion. Preservation of CBG requires careful harvest timing and storage conditions, as the compound degrades with heat and light exposure.
